On the last major weekend of spring football games (there are a few whose games will be played on April 27), there could very well be several teams honoring the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings and the fallout that continues to play out.

UMass will be wearing helmet decals as well, and staging a new marathon ‘finish ‘line’ at the 50-yard line. Runners who register for the ‘marathon’ will run a lap around the field and then cross the 50 on the field.
